osprey_archerI daresay that all interested parties have already seen this, but I've posted the second chapter of the Lost Prince story, featuring "Marco angsting," on AO3: Chapter 2: Why?
He began to pace the battered red Turkey carpet in front of the fire, as if he could outrun thoughts of the Rat, but the Rat’s presence seemed to permeate Marco’s room. His pencil marks mapping voyages on Marco’s globe. Little holes in the walls from the Rat’s early attempts at darts. Even the fire in the grate reminded Marco of all the times that he and the Rat had roasted chestnuts there.
The Rat, the Rat, the Rat! Everywhere in Marco's life. Why would he betray all that?
